HMS Golden Fleece

HMS Golden Fleece was a 122-gun Heavy First Rate constructed in Liverpool by the Liverpuglian Drafting Company. It was the nucleus of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet, created in 1756. It was captained by Alexander Cottesmore, who would serve as an important Member of Parliament. The HMS Golden Fleece was costly, but was a mammoth and it was the terror of the French fleet in the Seven Years' War and remained as an important member of the Royal Navy until it was scrapped in 1845.
